Ordinance No. 3336 authorizing the condemnation
of a portion of certain properties adjacent to S.

unsuccessful thus far in negotiations with three
of the property owners adjacent to the S. 196th

Kent City Council Minutes February 4 , 1997

siveness, flexibility, scheduling, cost and
program management, it is recommended that the
RFP be awarded to Occupational Health Services
Valley Medical Center.
The contract has been reviewed and approved by
the City Attorney' s office as to form.
ANNEXATION (OTHER BUSINESS - ITEM 4A)
Del Mar Annexation AN-97-1. This date has been
set to meet with the initiators of the Del Mar
Annexation, an area of approximately 578 acres
which lies generally between South 252nd Street
and South 272nd Street and between Military Road
and Pacific Highway South. Staff recommends that
the Council accept the 10% notice to annex and
authorize circulation of the 60% petition subject
to the City' s existing indebtedness and subject
to the zoning requirements for newly annexed
areas established in the City Code.
Planning Director Harris distributed a revenue
sheet and pointed out the annexation area on a
map. He noted that it is in the southwestern
section of Kent and is a little less than one
square mile in size. Harris noted that Kent has
an Interlocal Agreement with the City of Federal
Way stating that they will not enter the area
north of 272nd, and a verbal commitment from the
City of Des Moines that they are not interested
in the area. He said the area is in the
Potential Annexation Area included in the
Comprehensive Plan.
Harris noted that approximately 95 people
attended a meeting held at the West Hill Fire
Station recently. He stated that the City would
try to do a Comprehensive Plan and zoning before
the area is officially annexed, noting that a
20, 000 sq. ft. zoning designation could be put
on. He noted that the assessed valuation is
$114 , 000 , 000, total estimated revenue is
$1, 241, 000 and expenditures are currently being
reviewed with the expectation that they can be
met. He stated that current annexation policies
are essentially met by this annexation.
WOODS MOVED to make the revenue report a part of
the record. Houser seconded and the motion
carried.
5
Kent City Council Minutes February 4 , 1997
ANNEXATION Kevin Ruoff, Regional Loss Prevention Supervisor
for Fred Meyer, 25440 Pacific Highway south,
urged the Council to accept the petition and
allow circulation of the 60% petition. He opined
that their tax base will support entering the
city without putting a drain on funds. Mel
Kleweno spoke on behalf of a group of investors
who own approximately 36 acres between Military
Road and I-5, west of I-5 and north of 272nd. He
said that apartments have been built all around
their property, and it has become wetlands
because of the development. He urged that the
portion west of I-5 be deleted from the annexa-
tion, if it is Kent' s policy to have zero
apartment zoning in the area. He stated that
the property would become valueless if restricted
to single-family residences, and that it is best
for apartment zoning since utilities are there.
Norris Johnson, a resident of the area, explained
that the people who asked for the annexation have
commercial interests along Highway 99. He said
they have security problems and suggested that
the County Police cover the area. He noted that
there are approximately 41000 people in the area,
and only 95 attended the recent meeting. He
suggested delaying a decision for 30-60 days and
having at least two more meetings during the day.
Tony Cebe, a resident of the area for 40 years,
said he feels they are being pushed into this too
rapidly and that the reason for the slow response
from County Police is because of the confusion on
the boundaries. Bob Brown said people in the
area have been trying to be annexed for years,
and that the City helped tremendously in getting
the landfills closed. He said his neighbors near
S. 252nd want to be in Kent, as do the people
near Fred Meyer. Rick Gildart said he lives in
the Del Mar area and would like to be part of the
City of Kent.
There were no further comments from the audience.
ORR MOVED to accept the 10% Notice of Intent to
Annex the Del Mar area; to establish the bound-
aries for the proposed Del Mar Annexation as
presented by staff; to authorize the circulation
of the 60o petition for annexation pursuant to
RCW 35A. 14 . 120; to require that the area, upon
annexation, be subject to its proportionate share
of the existing indebtedness of the City of Kent;

RE: LID 345 - S. 218th St. Improvement (East Valley Highway to SR 167)
Charge in Lieu of Assessment for Water &Sewer Service
The final assessment roll for LID 345 was adopted May 7, 1996. The project was
constructed during the Summer and Fall of 1996. As explained during the formation
and finalization of the LID, there were utility stubs to be constructed for unserviced
property to avoid cutting of the new road at a later date. City water and sewer utility
funds were made available to pay for the initial cost of the stub construction, thereby
reducing the amount of the LID assessments. However, the property owners will
reimburse the City upon connection to the utility.
Final costs are now known and it is recommended that the City implement a Charge
in Lieu of Assessment. Upon connection, the charge would become due and payable.
The charges are shown on the attachment and the properties involved are shown on
the attached map.
ACTION: Authorize staff to establish a Charge in Lieu of Assessment fee for water
and sewer as denoted for Assessment Numbers 1, 5 and 7 in LID 345.

Kathy Larson - Representative from the Chamber of Commerce
LID 345 S. 218th Street Improvement Charge in Lieu of Assessment
Wiclstrom stated that at the time of constructing this LID, the City added utility
connnections necessary to specific properties. The City paid for those connections out
of the sewer and water utility funds. In order for the City to recouperate those funds,
we are asking for authorization to establish a Charge in Lieu of Assessment. The charge
will become payable by the property owner at the time of connection to the utility.
Wickstrom noted that on the Rust's property, (Parcel #7) they were inadvertently
connected before we had this approved however they did pay the Metro charge but they
didn't pay these charges.
Committee unanimously recommended authorizing staff to establish a Charge in Lieu
of Assessment fee for water and sewer as denoted for Assessment Numbers 1 and 5 in
LID 345.
Lindental Lot/277th Corridor Lot - Property Exchange
Wickstrom said when we first started the Corridor project, the plat of Lindental had
already platted and as part of preserving the project, we were able to buy Lots 58 and 59
for a detention site. Wickstrom stated we know what we need to do in that area; we
actually have one of the lots we don't need but we do have a sewer project out in that
same area, Lot 31, which is going to involve another major pump station. Wickstrom
said we have negotiated a trade of Lot 58 for Lot 31 because all of our property
evaluations show that Lot 31 is actually worth a little more because it is encumbered
with utility easements and Lot 58 doesn't have a sewer stub. He said that we are
recommending Lot 58 be surplused and used as part of the deal for Lot 31 plus $7000.
Committee unanimously recommended authorization to surplus Lot 58 of the Lindental
plat for partial payment of Lot 31.

The plat of Lindental was subdivided before the 277th Corridor
was established and also before the area was annexed into Kent
(Ramstead Annexation) . The City acquired lots 58 and 59
before homes were built in the subdivision to preserve these
areas as detention pond sites for the 277th Corridor. Design
of the storm drainage detention for the Corridor has been
completed and lot 58 is no longer needed. Lot 31 has not been

RE: Lindental Lot Swap
The plat of Lindental was subdivided before the 277th corridor route was established and
also before the area was annexed into Kent (Ramstead Annexation).
The City acquired lots 58 and 59 before homes were built in the subdivision to preserve
these areas as detention pond sites for the 277th corridor. Design of the storm drainage
detention for the corridor has been completed. Lot 58 is no longer needed and can be
surplused.
A regional sewer main and pump station enlargement is now in the planning stages on the
east edge of the same plat of Lindental. Lot 31 has not been built on and will be needed
for contractor access to install the gravity sewer and force main.
The plat builder, Lexington Fine Homes has agreed to swapping lots plus pay him $7,000.
We believe this is a fair deal as our lot is encumbered with utility easements plus has no
side sewer stub to it.
The action requested is to authorize the surplusing of Lot 58, to allow it to be used as a
partial payment for Lot 31. The sewer construction fund will be charged for the acquisition
and the road corridor fund will be credited.
ACTION: Recommend authorization to surplus Lot 58 of the Lindental plat for partial
payment of Lot 31.

LID 345 S. 218th Street Improvement Charge in Lieu of Assessment_
Wickstrom stated that at the time of constructing this LID, the City added utility
connnections necessary to specific properties. The City paid for those connections out
of the sewer and water utility funds. In order for the City to recouperate those funds,
we are asking for authorization to establish a Charge in Lieu of Assessment. The charge
will become payable by the property owner at the time of connection to the utility.
Wickstrom noted that on the Rust's property, (Parcel #7) they were inadvertently
connected before we had this approved however they did pay the Metro charge but they
didn't pay these charges.
Committee unanimously recommended authorizing staff to establish a Charge in Lieu
of Assessment fee for water and sewer as denoted for Assessment Numbers 1 and 5 in
LID 345.

RE: 277th Street Corridor - Condemnation Authorization
We have been negotiating with Mr. Carpinito and Mr. Monk on two separate parcels
adjacent to the 277th Street Corridor to grant us right of way easements along this
corridor project and we have been unsuccessful in these negotiations. At this time we
are seeking authorization to condemn, however we will continue to negotiate with
these property owners throughout the condemnation process.
ACTION: Recommend that Council authorize condemnation proceedings on the
two properties in question adjacent to the 277th Street Corridor project.
(� 277th Corridor Condemnation - Authorization
Brubaker stated that the City is in the process of commencing construction of portions
of this major project. We have negotiated to purchase much of the right of way
necessary to complete this project but not all of it. He noted that we still need to
purchase additional agricultural land in the valley along 277th. We have been
negotiating with two property owners hope to settle this soon. Nevertheless, if we can't
reach agreement we need to promptly rush to condemnation so we can get an order of
Public Use & Necessity which will allow us the right of entry on the property. If we
delay too long in starting the eminent domain proceedings, we may loose our window
of opportunity to continue construction this year. Brubaker requested approval to
prepare a Condemnation Ordinance to be approved at the next Council meeting so that
we can move quickly when and if the time comes to start the eminent domain
proceedings and commence condemnation.
Connie Epperly asked how close we were with the negotiations. Brubaker stated that we
are very close with one of the property owners to at least a short term solution that will
allow us to begin construction and not prejudice the City's position in condemnation.
With the other parcel, we are seeking a second appraisal of the property to confirm that
we are malting a reasonable and appropriate offer and we are hopeful that when that is
completed, we will be able to negotiate a purchase rather than have to go to
condemnation.
Committee unanimously recommended that Council authorize condemnation
proceedings on the two properties in question adjacent to the 277th Street Corridor
project.
Mill Creek Interlocal Agreement
Wickstrom explained that we have been working a long time with King County and
Auburn on the actual Auburn Mill Creek running south of the river down Peasley
Canyon. We have participated in the project which will determine how to address flood
control in that basin. Our costs are about 1/3 and right now we are down to a point of
finalizing a plan and coming up with a cost recommendation. He said that this work
should have been done last year; the money was set aside to do it. It is down to the
bottom line; we have looked at all the alternatives and ]tnow what we need to do; it's
simply determining now who pays what and what is reasonable for Kent to pay.
In response to Clark, Wickstrom said this is a separate agreement relating just to the
Auburn-Mill Creek; trying to solve those flooding problems in that basin where, by
acreage we contribute about 1/3, Auburn contributes about 1/3 (in terms of flow) and
IGng County contributes about 1/3. Originally there was a project on the east side and

King County contributes about 1/3. Originally there was a project on the east side and
2
one on the west side; the east side project is what we were working on for a long time
until everyone pulled out. Auburn wanted to do something so we looked at what we
could do to determine what the elements of the project are and what the approximate
costs are and refine that to see if there is a financing plan that can be developed
amenable to all parties. If not, then we have a "go on your own" issue and no one does
anything.
Clark asked if there were any growth management requirements involved. Wickstrom
noted that this overlaps with the federal SAMPS program (Special Area Management
Plan) for the wetland protection and this is the flood control element in that wetland
plan. We first determined what we could do with all the restrictions and we are now at
the point of determining whether it is cost effective for us to participate at this time.
Committee unanimously recommended authorization for the Mayor to sign the
Amendment to the Mill Creek Interlocal Agreement.
Added item- 272nd/277th Corridor TIB Project Agreement
Wickstrom explained that the TIB (Transportation Improvement Board) is giving us a
grant for this project. Right not that grant's about $4.8 Million. After we conduct our
Value Engineering Studies and they are aware of it, we will be asking for a $2.4 Million
increase. We will then be in the neighborhood of a $7 Million grant. Wickstrom said
that TIB has reviewed it and essentially approved our deviations in the design (i.e. no
sidewalks down the hillside; we are putting in a widened shoulder). They also approved
our request for engineering funds and that's essentially what this agreement is. They will
give us $1.5 for engineering design and the Mavor's signature is required on this
agreement.
Committee unanimously recommended authorization for the Mayor to sign the TIB
Agreement for the 272nd/277th Street Corridor project.

1. SUBJECT: LIVE BURN SIMULATOR PROJECT - AUTHORIZATION &
BUDGET CHANGE
2 . SUMMARY STATEMENT: Authorization to use $73 , 000 from the
unallocated CIP funds toward the Live Burn Simulators pro-
ject, and authorization for the Mayor to sign the required
addendums modifying the original contract to include Fire
Administration' s requests.
Due to the existing fire training tower structure and the
change in technology, the final design of the live burn
simulators had to be modified. Fire Administration requests
additional funds in the amount of $35, 000 to meet the intent of
the project after it had been previously reduced in scope.
Additionally, Fire Administration proposes adding back the
option which deals with the flash over function on one of the
simulators. This function would be less costly to add at this
time, yet the overall benefit in flexibility and creating
realism warrants this request.
Both of these requests would enable the Fire Department to meet
basic training needs of personnel and put them in a position to
invite other agencies to use the system, which would assist in
offsetting operational costs.

FROM: NORMAN G. ANGELO, FIRE CHIEF
SUBJECT: LIVE BURN SIMULATORS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bac ground: On July 2, 1996, the Council approved funding from the remaining Public
Safety Bond Fund to supply two (2) live burn simulators to provide required live fire training for
firefighters. As we moved through final design, it became apparent that the building structural
components dictated modification of the preliminary plan. Funding was limited, therefore the
scope of the project was scaled down once again. To meet the necessary functional level, we have
had to make some revisions to the project. We will be adding outside mounting platforms and
modifying additional internal walls. Limitations in Washington Natural Gas Company's grid
system required our installation of a larger gas delivery system to ensure minimum operating gas
pressure for the burn simulators can be maintained. We have stretched resources as far as we can
by doing as much in house work as possible. We are requesting additional funds to meet the
minimal functionality of the project, which was previously reduced in scope. We are requesting
an additional $35,000 from the un-allocated CIP Funds.
On another matter related to the simulators, we would Like to request your consideration to add
back one of the system functions that had to be dropped to stay within the original budget. It is
the flash over option on one of the props. This simulating option is one that we encounter in field
emergencies frequently. To include it would add significant capability for us to create a greater
variety of drills with more realism. This option would cost an additional $38,000 from the un-
allocated balance of the CIP. I will describe in more detail the purpose of this function at your
meeting. It is my belief that this will bring long term training benefits that would justify this
expenditure.
Recommendation: Fire Administration and personnel assisting with the project recommend that
supplemental funding be granted.
Significance: This would allow us to address the unforeseeable changes and to provide
basic functionality. It will also enable us to provide basic training to our personnel and test the
concept of getting other departments to participate in training and assisting to cover operational
costs.

BuudzeL Request I $35,000 from un-allocated CIP Funds
Request II $38,000 from un-allocated CIP Funds

one on the west side; the east side project is what we were working on for a long time
until everyone pulled out. Auburn wanted to do something so we looked at what we
could do to determine what the elements of the project are and what the approximate
costs are and refine that to see if there is a financing plan that can be developed
amenable to all parties. If not, then we have a "go on your own" issue and no one does
anything.
Clark asked if there were any growth management requirements involved. Wickstrom
noted that this overlaps with the federal SAMPS program (Special Area Management
Plan) for the wetland protection and this is the flood control element in that wetland
plan. We first determined what we could do with all the restrictions and we are now at
the point of determining whether it is cost effective for us to participate at this time.
Committee unanimously recommended authorization for the Mayor to sign the
Amendment to the Mill Creelc Interlocal Agreement.
Added item- 272nd/277th Corridor TIB Project Agreement
Wickstrom explained that the TIB (Transportation Improvement Board) is giving us a
grant for this project. Right not that grant's about $4.8 Million. After we conduct our
Value Engineering Studies and they are aware of it, we will be asking for a $2.4 Million
increase. We will then be in the neighborhood of a $7 Million grant. Wickstrom said
that TIB has reviewed it and essentially approved our deviations in the design (i.e. no
sidewalks down the hillside; we are putting in a widened shoulder). They also approved
our request for engineering funds and that's essentially what this agreement is. They will
give us $1.5 for engineering design and the Mayor's signature is required on this
agreement.
Committee unanimously recommended authorization for the Mayor to sign the TIB
Agreement for the 272nd/277th Street Corridor project.

MEMO TO: STEVE DOWELL,CHAIR AND LAND USE&PLANNING BOARD MEMBERS
FROM: MATTHEWS JACKSON, PLANNER/GIS COORDINATOR
SUBJECT: 4ZCA-97-1 - GREEN RIVER CORRIDOR REGULATIONS - REGULATORY
REQUEST (VOLCHOK)
INTRODUCTION
On February 23, 1981, the Kent City Council approved the Valley Studies which created the Green
River Corridor Special Interest District. Definitions, regulations and standards for the district were
established by Ordinance #2544 on March 19, 1985. The purpose of the district is to protect,
conserve and manage areas generally located on both sides of the Green River, and to ensure that
urban development within the district is compatible with the open natural configuration of the Green
River and its adjacent lands. The Green River Corridor Special Interest District can be generally
described as the land located within one thousand (1,000) feet from the ordinary high water line of
the Green River, provided that the shoreline master program shall govern development within the
first two hundred (200) feet. Various aspects of development in the special district including
building length, building height, parking facilities, loading doors, and landscaping are regulated in
Section 15.08.260 of the Kent Zoning Code.
The Planning Department received a request for a regulatory review of the Green River Corridor
Special Interest District regulation relating to the maximum length of exterior walls of buildings.
Section 15.08.260 D(7) of the Kent Zoning Code states that "no building on any riverfront lot shall
have an exterior wall parallel to, or within forty-five (45) degrees of parallel to, the river which
exceeds two hundred (200) feet in length." The primary goal of this regulation is to preserve the
aesthetic quality of the corridor by protecting views from both Frager and Russell Roads, which are
classified as scenic and recreational roads/drives. Without this standard, there was the potential for
the river to sit in a "canyon" of large industrial buildings and public access to any open space, trails,
or park land along the river could be blocked. The request for regulatory review proposes that the
limitation on the length of exterior walls of buildings be removed based on the fact that conditions

Green River Corridor Regulations - #ZCA-97-1
February 10, 1997
Page 2
have changed significantly since the Green River Corridor Special Interest District was established
in 1981.
The City has implemented regulations controlling development on properties which contain
delineated wetlands. The policy by which the City is operating generally requires no net loss of
wetland area and usually results in protection of wetlands and creation of twenty-five (25) or fifty
(50) foot buffers. These regulations, established since 1981, have limited development on several
riverfront properties. In addition,the City has purchased approximately 292 acres of land on the east
side of the river between South 212th Street and South 228th Street. The Kent Lagoons are a
regional stormwater management facility which includes both natural and created wetlands as well
as enhanced wildlife habitat. This large area of land, which has industrial zoning, will be protected
from development in the future. This project, in conjunction with the wetland regulations, have
resulted in a large area of permanent open space located adjacent to the Green River. Properties
located on the west side of the river are zoned for agricultural uses and have not seen significant
development since 1981, nor is significant future development forseen in the City's Comprehensive
Plan.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff concurs with the proposed change and recommends the following amendments to Section
15.08.260, Green River Corridor Special Interest District regulations:
15.08.260 (D)(7). Exterior walls of buildings. No building on any riverfront lot shall have an
exterior wall parallel to, or within forty-five(45) degrees of parallel to, the river which exceeds two
hundred (200) feet in length, except as provided below in subsection a.
a. Buildings on riverfront lots in the MA Ml MI-C M2. and M3 zoning districts
may have exterior walls parallel to or within forty-five (45) degrees of parallel
to the river which exceed two hundred (200) feet in length provided they are
screened by a by vegetative buffer per Section 15.08.260 (D)(9) c.
15.08.260 (D)(9). Vegetation buffer.
c. Buildings on riverfront lots in industrial zoning districts which have exterior
walls exceeding two hundred (200) feet in length parallel to or within forty-five
(45) degrees of parallel to the river, must be screened by a vegetation buffer.
This vegetative buffer shall be located along the length of the property line
located parallel to or within forty-five (45) degrees of parallel to the river. for

a minimum depth of twenty(20) feet in accordance with Tyne III.Visual Buffer
landscape standards (Section 15 07 050 Q. In addition an earth berm of a
minimum of forty eight (48) inches in height must be provided for.
Staff feels that circumstances have changed significantly since the inception of the Green River
Corridor Special Interest District, and the proposed amendments will not harm the public interest,
health, safety, or welfare. The river has been protected from a wall of development, and very few
undeveloped industrial riverfront lots remain. A large portion of undeveloped property has been
acquired by the City and will be preserved as open space through the Kent Lagoons project. The
proposed vegetative buffer requirements will enhance the aesthetic quality of the Green River
corridor.
Planning Department staff will be available at the February 10th hearing to further explain the
recommended zoning code amendments. If you have any questions prior to the meeting, please
contact me at 859-4152.

4ZCA-97-1 GREEN RIVER CORRIDOR REGULATIONS (M. Jackson)
Planner Matt Jackson explained that the planning department received a request for a regulatory
review from Gary Volchok on behalf of the Benaroya Company. The request was to review section
15.08.260 of the Kent Zoning Code which relates to the Green River Corridor Special Interest
District Regulations. The Green River Corridor Special Interest District is generally described as
two strips of land within 1000 feet of the high water mark of the Green River on either side.
Mr. Jackson explained that the regulatory review process was created by the City Council to give
the public an opportunity to be involved in the regulatory process. The public can present
suggestions for changes, deletions, or additions to the code. If the Council decides that the
suggestion warrants merit they can refer the item to the Land Use & Planning Board for a public
hearing; hence tonight's hearing.
The staff reviewed Section 15.08.260 of the Kent Zoning Code that relates to the exterior walls of
buildings on riverfront lots. At this time, the regulations limit the length of exterior walls that are
parallel to or forty-five degrees (45°) of parallel to the river to a maximum length of 200 feet. The
applicant has suggested that this regulation is no longer relevant based on significant changes in
circumstances since the establishment of the Green River Corridor.
The specific regulations for development in the corridor were established by Ordinance in 1985. The
Corridor was established through the Valley Studies which were passed in 1981. The general intent
4ZC4-97-1 Green River Corridor Special Interest District
Land Use and Planning Board Minutes
February 10, 1997
Page 3
of the regulations in the Corridor were to protect the environment of the areas near the Green River,
to ensure that urban development that happened within that area was compatible with the natural
characteristics of the Green River, and to protect any type of recreational land (parks, open space,
etc.) that is located adjacent to the river.
Mr. Jackson explained that since the regulations were enacted the City of Kent purchased
approximately 292 acres of land. The City has established the area which is now known as the Kent
Lagoons Project. The Kent Lagoons is a regional storm water, wetlands, and habitat area. Jackson.
stated that this area is a substantial piece of property which will be permanently protected for open
space and habitat.
The City has established development standards for properties which contain wetlands. Jackson
stated that there is a general policy of no net loss of wetlands. The City tries to protect any
significant wetland and creates buffers of 25 to 50 feet around the wetland perimeter to protect their
function as a wetland.
The zoning on the west side of the river is agricultural. There has been no significant development
in that area since these regulations went into place. The zoning and the Comprehensive Plan which
the City Council passed in 1995 does not project any significant development in that area.
Mr. Jackson explained that the general intent of the Corridor has been met. He stated that there are
only a few undeveloped properties left in the Corridor and allowing for an adjustment in our
standards is merited at this time. There are environmental constraints on some of the properties in
this area which limits the way you can place the buildings on the lots.
Staff recommends adding the following language as subsection(a) to the Kent Zoning Code Section
15.08.260 (D)(7):
Buildings on riverfront lots in the MA, AIL MI-C :W2, and M3 zoning districts may have
exterior walls parallel to, or within forty-five (45) degrees of parallel to, the river which
exceed two hundred(200)feet in length,provided they are screened by a by vegetative buffer
per Section 15.08.260 (D)(9)c;
and adding the following language as subsection (c) to Section 15.08.260 (D)(9):
Buildings on riverfront lots in industrial zoning districts which have exterior walls exceeding
two hundred(200)feet in length parallel to, or within forty-five (45) degrees of parallel to,
the river, must be screened by a vegetation buffer. This vegetative buffer shall be located
along the length of the property line located parallel to, or within forty-five (45) degrees of
4ZCA-97-1 Green River Corridor Special Interest District

February 10, 1997
Page 4
parallel to, the river,for a minimum depth of twenty (20)feet in accordance with Type III,
Visual Buffer landscape standards (Section 15.07.050 Q. In addition, an earth berm of a
minimum of forty-eight (48) inches in height must be provided for.
Jackson remarked that these changes would preserve the original intent of the Corridor and also
allow for the flexibility that is necessary to develop the last few properties.
Board member Ron Harmon questioned the area effected by this change. Jackson explained that the
original request made by Mr.Volchok was more site specific. He clarified that the regulatory review
is not a project specific review, it is a review of a regulation based on changes that have occurred
since the regulation was enacted.
Jackson remarked that there are other regulations which are a part of the Green River Corridor
Special Interest District. At this time, staff is only proposing to amend this one condition.
Board member Tom Brotherton asked staff to provide some history behind the original regulation.
Mr. Jackson explained that this was a combination of issues to protect the river from encroachment
by a wall of industrial buildings. He explained that the shoreline management acts and our shoreline
standards in the City of Kent regulate properties within 200 feet of the ordinary high water mark of
the river. No buildings may be placed within 200 feet of the river.
There was a potential for a corridor of industrial buildings and the main intent of the regulations
were to place buildings in the most desirable sense in an east west configuration as opposed to a
north south direction. This was to provide open areas between buildings to protect the aesthetic
quality of the river and provide access to open space.
Chair Steve Dowell queried whether there was a maximum building length proposed. Jackson
explained that staff is not proposing to limit the length. The buildings can be greater than 200 feet
in length if they provide the vegetation buffer. They would have to provide that vegetation buffer
to mitigate for the additional building length.
Vice chair Brad Bell questioned what the maximum building size could be based on the size of the
property. Jackson stated that Mr. Volchok could better address that question. He clarified that the
change is merited with or without the applicant's project.
Chair Steve Dowell questioned whether there were other regulations which restricted the activity of
the warehouse such as the location of parking or loading docks which side faces the river, etc.
Mr. Jackson explained that there is a regulation that prevents the dock high loading doors from
facing the river and staff is not recommending any changes to that requirement at this time.

Land Use and Planning Board Minutes
February 10, 1997
Page 5
Brotherton questioned whether the screening requirement was adequate to provide a visual screen
for the facility from the meandering river viewpoints. Mr. Jackson explained that landscaping of a
minimum of twenty (20) feet in depth in conjunction with the forty-eight inch (48") berm is an
adequate visual screen. Mr. Harris added that the regulation would require all of the property line
from the building to the river to be buffered and each building would require an individual landscape
buffer. Mr. Jackson explained that the intent is not to have a 100% site obscuring screen but rather
to provide a visual relief.
Chair Steve Dowell opened the public hearing.
Mr. Gary Volchok, 1420 Fifth Avenue#1700, Seattle, WA 98101. Mr. Volchok explained that
he is representing the Benaroya Company who is attempting to attain approximately 58 acres from
the 292 acres the City presently owns. He explained that the majority of this land is being used for
flood control, storm water retention, wetlands, and the like.
He stated that out of the 58 acres being acquired 33 acres are net usable. The other 25 acres are the
buffer zones and the existing wetlands. He explained that Benaroya is not encroaching, moving, or
attempting to fill any of the existing wetlands.
Mr. Volchok related that he was an active participate in the development of the Valley Studies. He
explained that at the time the study was written UP had owned the majority of this property. The
City limited the building length to no greater than 200 feet along the river to prevent a wall effect
along the Green River.
Volchok stated that the wetlands regulation came into effect and basically wiped out the ability to
develop properties in these areas. The City then purchased 292 acres. The Benaroya company
worked with the City to come up with a plan to purchase and develop 58 acres.
Mr. Volchok explained that the Benaroya company is proposing to first class development. The
buildings would be heavily landscaped and the road being proposed is a full four lane with a
landscaped median.
Chair Steve Dowell questioned the building layout. Mr. Volchok identified the parking for building
"C" would be located in back and on the north and south. He stated that the dock high doors were
located on the west side of the building.
Vice Chair Brad Bell clarified that the plans being proposed have not been approved and the Board
is not taking any specific action on these individual plans.

Land Use and Planning Board Minutes
February 10, 1997
Page 6
Mr.Volchok explained that the Benaroya company wants to work with the City. They want to move
forward on the construction and already have received a fill and grade permit for the property.
Board member Jerry Daman questioned what the color of the building would be. Mr. Volchok
explained that Mr. Benaroya likes to go with natural tones. Daman commented that he is concerned
with the location of the doors.
Mr. Harris explained that the plans will be reviewed and those issues addressed administratively.
The plans could be changed a number of times yet and the Board is not deciding based on this
project; but rather amending the regulation.
Board member David Malik questioned whether the loading docks or parking would be facing the
Green River. Mr. Volchok stated that the loading docks would be on the side of the river 200 feet
back from the river.
Mr. Harris again stated that the issue would be addressed administratively or through a variance
procedure before the Hearing Examiner.
Harmon MOVED and Daman SECONDED a motion to close the public hearing. Motion carried.
Harmon questioned the staff reasoning for expanding the area effected from the original request.
Mr. Harris explained that regulations are developed to be good for the whole and limiting an
exception to one specific project is not the intent.
Vice Chair Brad Bell MOVED and Malik SECONDED a motion to recommend approval of staff s
recommendation as detailed above. Motion carried.
Board member Ron Hannon MOVED and Sharon Woodford SECONDED a motion to adjourn.
Motion carried. The meeting was adjourned at 7:55 p.m.

4ZCA-97-1 Green River Corridor Special Interest District
ORDINANCE NO.
AN ORDINANCE of the City Council of the City of
Kent, Washington, amending Chapter 15 of the Kent City
Code to revise development standards of the Green River
Corridor Special Interest District relating to building length
on riverfront lots.
WHEREAS, in 1981 the Kent City Council approved the Valley Studies
Program creating the Green River Corridor Special Interest District to protect, conserve
and manage areas generally located on both sides of the Green River, and to ensure that
urban development within the district is compatible with the open natural configuration of
the Green River and its adjacent lands; and
WHEREAS, the Kent City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2544 on March
19, 1985 in order to provide definitions, regulations, and standards for the Green River
Corridor Special Interest District; and
WHEREAS, one of the regulations adopted by Ordinance No. 2544 states
that no building on any riverfront lot shall have an exterior wall parallel to or within forty-
five degrees of parallel to the river which exceeds two hundred (200) feet; and
WHEREAS, since 1985 significant changes to development regulations on
environmentally sensitive lands and the creation of the Green River Natural Resources
Enhancement Area have resulted in the protection of a substantial portion of the east side
of the Green River Corridor Special Interest District from future urban development; and
WHEREAS, the purpose of the Green River Corridor Special Interest
District has been met by a land use pattern which is compatible with the open natural
configuration of the Green River and its adjacent lands and few undeveloped industrial
properties remain within the Green River Corridor: and
WHEREAS, the Land Use and Planning Board held a public hearing on
February 10, 1997 and moved to recommend revisions to the Green River Corridor
Special Interest District regulations to the Kent City Council; and
WHEREAS, the Kent City Council concurs with the Land Use and Planning
Board and finds amendments to the Green River Corridor Special Interest District
regulations would assist the City and the public by allowing more flexibility in site design
for the few remaining industrial sites near the Green River; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF KENT, WASHINGTON, DOES
HEREBY ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 15.08.260 of the Kent City Code entitled "Green

MEMO TO: MAYOR JIM WHITE AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
FROM: JAMES P. HARRIS, PLANNING DIRECTOR
SUBJECT: GREEN RIVER CORRIDOR SPECIAL INTEREST DISTRICT REGULATIONS
#ZCA-97-1
Attached is the Land Use and Planning Board's recommendation on proposed revisions to the Green
River Corridor Special Interest District regulations(#ZCA-97-1). The Green River Corridor Special
Interest District regulations regulate development within one thousand(1,000) feet of the high water
mark of the Green River. The Planning Department received a request for regulatory review which
proposed amending the development standards of Section 15.08.260 of the Kent Zoning Code in
order to allow exterior walls of buildings on riverfront lots beyond the current two hundred (200)
foot maximum. A workshop was held on January 27, 1997, at which time staff was able to
familiarize the Land Use and Planning Board with the proposal. The Land Use and Planning Board
held a public hearing on February 10, 1997 and was able to make their recommendation at the
conclusion of that meeting (see attached minutes).
Section 15.08.260,Green River Corridor Special Interest District regulations currently limits exterior
walls of buildings on riverfront lots which are parallel to, or within forty-five(45) degrees of parallel
to, the river to a maximum length of two hundred (200) feet. The Land Use and Planning Board's
recommendation would amend Section 15.08.260 allowing buildings to exceed two hundred (200)
feet in length within industrial zoning districts if a vegetative buffer of a minimum of twenty (20)
feet in depth is provided in conjunction with an earth berm of a minimum of forty-eight (48) inches
in height.
Planning Department staff will be available at the February 18, 1997 City Council meeting to further
explain the recommended zoning amendment and to answer any questions.

LID 345 S. 218th Street Improvement Charge in Lieu of Assessment
Wickstrom stated that at the time of constructing this LID, the City added utility
connections necessary to specific properties. The City paid for those connections out
of the sewer and water utility funds. In order for the City to recouperate those funds,
we are asking for authorization to establish a Charge in Lieu of Assessment. The charge
will become payable by the property owner at the time of connection to the utility.
Wickstrom noted that on the Rust's property, (Parcel #7) they were inadvertently
connected before we had this approved however they did pay the Metro charge but they
didn't pay these charges.
Committee unanimously recommended authorizing staff to establish a Charge in Lieu
of Assessment fee for water and sewer as denoted for Assessment Numbers 1 and 5 in
LID 345.
I indental Lot/277th Corridor Lot - Property Exc_ hang
Wickstrom said when we first started the Corridor project, the plat of Lindental had
already platted and as part of preserving the project, we were able to buy Lots 58 and 59
for a detention site. Wickstrom stated we know what we need to do in that area; we
actually have one of the lots we don't need but we do have a sewer project out in that
same area, Lot 31, which is going to involve another major pump station. Wickstrom
said we have negotiated a trade of Lot 58 for Lot 31 because all of our property
evaluations show that Lot 31 is actually worth a little more because it is encumbered
with utility easements and Lot 58 doesn't have a sewer stub. He said that we are
recommending Lot 58 be surplused and used as part of the deal for Lot 31 plus $7000.
Committee unanimously recommended authorization to surplus Lot 58 of the Lindental
plat for partial payment of Lot 31 .

277th Corridor Condemnation - Authorization
Brubaker stated that the City is in the process of commencing construction of portions
of this major project. We have negotiated to purchase much of the right of way
necessary to complete this project but not all of it. He noted that we still need to
purchase additional agricultural land in the valley along 277th. We have been
negotiating with two property owners hope to settle this soon. Nevertheless, if we can't
reach agreement we need to promptly rush to condemnation so we can get an order of
Public Use &_Necessity which will allow us the right of entry on the property. If we
delay too long in starting the eminent domain proceedings, we may loose our window
of opportunity to continue construction this year. Brubaker requested approval to
prepare a Condemnation Ordinance to be approved at the next Council meeting so that
we can move quickly when and if the time comes to start the eminent domain
proceedings and commence condemnation.
Connie Epperly asked how close we were with the negotiations. Brubaker stated that we
are very close with one of the property owners to at least a short term solution that will
allow us to begin construction and not prejudice the City's position in condemnation.
With the other parcel, we are seeking a second appraisal of the property to confirm that
we are malting a reasonable and appropriate offer and we are hopeful that when that is
completed, we will be able to negotiate a purchase rather than have to go to
condemnation.
Committee unanimously recommended that Council authorize condemnation
proceedings on the two properties in question adjacent to the 277th Street Corridor
project.
Mill Creek Interlocal Agreement
Wicicstrom explained that we have been working a long time with King County and
Auburn on the actual Auburn Mill Creek running south of the river down Peasley
Canyon. We have participated in the project which will determine how to address flood
control in that basin. Our costs are about 1/3 and right now we are down to a point of
finalizing a plan and coming up with a cost recommendation. He said that this work.
should have been done last year; the money was set aside to do it. It is down to the
bottom line; we have looked at all the alternatives and know what we need to do; it's
simply determining now who pays what and what is reasonable for Kent to pay.
In response to Clark, Wicltstrom said this is a separate agreement relating just to the
Auburn-Mill Creek; trying to solve those flooding problems in that basin where, by
acreage we contribute about 1/3, Auburn contributes about 1/3 (in terms of flow) and
King County contributes about 1/3. Originally there was a project on the east side and
2
b0/ZO'd TLt7# TS:OT bT-ZOIL661 65S£ 6S6 30E ON1633NICN3 1N3M dC 4110: WGcld
one on the west side; the east side project is what we were working on for a long time
until everyone pulled out. Auburn wanted to do something so we looked at what we
could do to determine what the elements of the project are and what the approximate
costs are and refine that to see if there is a financing plan that can be developed
amenable to all parties. If not, then we have a "go on your own" issue and no one does
anything.
Clark asked if there were any growth management requirements involved. Wickstrom
noted that this overlaps with the federal SAMPS program (Special Area Management
Plan) for the wetland protection and this is the flood control element in that wetland
plan. We first determined what we could do with all the restrictions and we are now at
the point of determining whether it is cost effective for us to participate at this time.
Committee unanimously recommended authorization for the Mayor to sign the
Amendment to the Mill Creels Interlocal Agreement.
School IrnR&Q EC0 >]raina9e
Clark noted that the Chamber of Commerce is seeking a way to reduce the district costs
and therefore the school impacts as a problem in terms of additional housing costs.
Wickstrom said that we are doing some analysis based on what our standards are and
how they impact other developments. We have a simple form and a more complicated
form; most of them are taking the simple approach where there is so many cubic feet of
storage per acre versus doing an analysis approach which is more of an engineering
analysis. The simple approach is conservative but it is quick and easy. Because everyone
is taking the simple approach, we are seeing if that analysis is giving them any break
which would accommodate more of the open space issues. Wickstrom further said that
as far as our standards go, we know that in order to solve our drainage problems today
and into the future, there aren't any places to build additional retention facilities. Our
only solution was to build the facilities we have i.e., the Lagoon, the Upper Mill Creels
Detention Basin, Earthworks Park and Upper Garrison; maximize those facilities and
that with a combination of these construction standards, would help curb any future
problems we would potentially have with build-out in the city. He said right now we
are doing fine because we have these facilities but with future build-out, it goes back up
the other way and we will be back with the flooding again. He said we know we already
had a problem on our hillside standard; based on the engineering analysis that was done
it should have been more severe. But because much of the basins are still in King
County, we felt it was inappropriate to penalize our citizens with a higher standard while
the County has a much lesser standard. Wickstrom noted that if we reduce our
standards it will eventually result in Inore flooding and someone has to make up the
difference.

bO/£0'd TLV# TS:OT bT-Z0`L66T 65S£ 65B SOZ ONIa=NIONS 1N3X d0 J..1I0 WOBS
Wickstrom explained that the other issue is that several years back the Dept of Fisheries
was involved in this and is still very active on endangered species, i.e. certain types of
salmon. The Dept of Fisheries has taken jurisdiction over drainage permit issuance
throughout the basin as a result of that. Fisheries position is that our standards have
to comply with those developed by the Dept of Ecology, which we do except for one area
and that's in the case of redevelopment of an existing site. Wickstrom said that the
Dept of Ecology is saying that to redevelop, it is necessary to retrofit it entirely and our
position is, we don't want that; we are saying to add more impervious area they have to
address that. We are trying to work this out with them; Fisheries can take an exception
to this and can say we haven't any more authority to issue permits for drainage.
Widcstrom noted that this is a more significant issue that would have to be addressed.
Wickstrom again said that we are reviewing the differences to see of someone took an
analytical approach versus the simple approach that being a certain cubic feet of storage
per site. On the school in the valley, that was already anticipated as part of the valley
detention basin so they have no storage, no water quality treatment so, no problem. All
they need to do is get their drainage to the street system.
Kathy Larson noted that the Chamber would be pleased to know that the City is looking
further into details of construction to see if there is anyway at all that some of the
requirements could be changed or mitigated. Kathy said that the Chamber's
recommendations were not specific; they were just in general asking the City and others
to look at the ways the school districts were being asked to follow the rules and
regulations.
Added item: 272 77t ridor TIB Prjoiert Agreement
Wickstrom explained that the TIB (Transportation Improvement Board) is giving us a
grant for this project. Right not that grant's about $4.8 Million. After we conduct our
Value Engineering Studies and they are aware of it, we will be asking for a $2.4 Million
increase_ We will then be in the neighborhood of a $7 Million grant. Wickstrom said
that TIB has reviewed it and essentially approved our deviations in the design (i.e. no
sidewalks down the hillside; we are putting in a widened shoulder). They also approved
our request for engineering funds and that's essentially what this agreement is. They will
give us $1.5 for engineering design and the Mayor's signature is required on this
agreement.
Committee unanimously recommended authorization for the Mayor to sign the TIB
Agreement for the 272nd/277th Street Corridor project.
